Barack Rodham Jefferson Clinton

By Monica Crowley (bio)

Again with the Clintons.

Obama just can’t seem to stop skimming the pond scum of the impeached White House for his own administration. Rahm Emanuel. John Podesta. Robert Reich. Robert Rubin. Lawrence Summers. Bill Richardson. And of course, Queen Bee herself.

And now comes word of Eric Holder as a potential Attorney General. Holder was Deputy Attorney General under the renowned Janet Reno, but his biggest claim to infamy is that he was the point man on some of the Clintons’ midnight pardons—issued as they were skidding out of office on a banana peel. The most infamous was, of course, the pardon of fugitive financier Marc Rich, which Holder signed off on despite strong objections from rational-thinking people at the Justice Department.

So, here we go again. The ferris wheel of scandal and corruption known as Clintonland is back. So is the stench of low-class thuggery and political amorality that came with the Clintons like Pig Pen’s famous cloud.

“They could have just had me,” Bonnie says to Clyde.

“And me,” he replies.

And we do.
